At the show Keith, Watson, Harman's marketing director for mixers said, "We've had a fantastic reaction to the 24 fader model launched at PLASA in September. Being 19" rack mounted, the 16 is our response to massive demand from our clients in live sound including Houses of Worship, installed systems, theatres and corporate events."

With full DSP functionality built-in to a small-footprint chassis, the Si Compact range provides up to 40 inputs to mix in three frame sizes. Motorised faders with Soundcraft FaderGlow operate on two layers, but the main difference from similarly priced mixers is the provision of a full encoder set for all the functions on a channel, from input gain through EQ and dynamics to b

"Then add three bands of Dynamic EQ on every input, a variable knee compressor on every output with full control over ratio, threshold, attack and release times. On top of all that, include full matrix mixing of any input to any output or mix of outputs and provide memory recallable dynamic EQ for the first time via AudioCore, and that is the power and potential of the DP548."

Alberto Martinez is the manager of the sound team at the Centro Familiar de Adoración. Some years ago he was in the USA, where he heard a Nexo Geo T system running at full throttle on a concert by Oasis, and apparently was so impressed that he accepted an invitation to a demo in Argentina. Meeting with Nexo's LatAm team there convinced him that these loudspeakers were the right choice for the Asunción church project.

Working closely with Nexo's specialist installation engineers, the church's sound team explored all the design configurations thoroughly, not just through software predicti

Wakehurst Place, the National Trust's most visited property, is famed for its festive Carols which usually attract 3,000 people to a service in front of the largest Christmas tree in the UK.

The engineer mode gives sound engineers more control options - they can now hear the monitor mix exactly how the artists on stage are hearing it and quickly react if during a live performance corrections need to be made to the mix, for example if the guitar signal is too quiet for the bassist.

When in engineer mode, the settings of the musicians' receivers can be transferred via the infra-red interface to the monitor engineer's receiver. Separate information regardi

The first topic covered in these sessions takes you on a listening journey through the two series in the White range, the xS-Series and the xA-Series. It will look at the new opportunities these integration loudspeakers will open up for placement everywhere, no matter what colour, size or performance requirement, says the company. The initial step in this journey will be to listen to the smallest cabinets in the xS-Series.

A major implementation is the new Safe 'n' Sound record recovery feature that enables recorded audio files to be recovered after a sudden accidental loss of power, for example after tripping over cables, pulling out power or USB cables, or even forgetting to stop recording before powering off the system. All recorded data can be recovered including song splits, song names and track names. The recorded files will also still be split up into smaller bite-sized pieces that some workstations rely on when importing.

Once power is re-applied to the unit, the new software analyses the disk and performs all the necessary recovery procedures
